I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.
James ran to a window and smiled. He focused on the empty streets. ''Father?'' he muttered. He looked back. James walked to Jasper and Mrs. Hook. A sudden frown began to replace his smile.
''Father should be here,'' James said. His shoulders slumped. He watched as Mrs. Hook smiled.
''Your father will arrive,'' Mrs. Hook said.
Jasper smiled. ''We'll be pirates just like our father,'' he said to James. He faced his mother.
''Captain Jasper Hook. Midshipman James Hook.'' She continued to smile. ''I wish for you to be great pirates,'' Mrs. Hook said.
''Father and the rest of the crew probably captured many ships,'' Jasper said to James. He viewed him nodding. ''Maybe he will bring gold,'' he said. Jasper's smile stretched from ear to ear. ''Father will bring emeralds. My treasure.''
James began to frown at Jasper. ''You'll share your gold? I'm your sibling.'' James smiled again after Jasper nodded at a snail's pace. His eyes widened as soon as the door opened. He and Jasper smiled the minute Mr. Hook appeared.
Mr. Hook glanced from his young sons to Mrs. Hook. He saw her smile. He smiled after she approached him. Mr. Hook kissed her on the lips. After wrapping his arms around Mrs. Hook, he released her. He turned to James and Jasper.
''You captured ships? Prisoners?'' Jasper asked.
Mr. Hook still smiled. He nodded at Jasper. ''There were plenty of prisoners with ships,'' he said.
''How many prisoners walked the plank?'' Jasper asked.
''Too many to count,'' Mr. Hook said.
''Our sons are looking forward to their gifts,'' Mrs. Hook said.
Mr. Hook's eyes widened. ''Gifts?'' he asked. He viewed James and Jasper exchanging glances.
